WCB- lol cats
2007-06-02 05:56:00 We have been howling with laughter over ‘I Can Has Cheezburger?’ the zany, crazy site of captioned cat photos that is irresistibly funny and engaging.

Poorly Polenta-ized
2007-05-25 18:06:00 So this is probably the better place for me to confess my culinary sins and misfortunes, as very few of you would know me well enough to nudge me with an elbow should we pass on the street (best yet…most of you aren’t even close enough to me in proximity to do so) and despite ...

Jambalaya Deja Vu
2007-05-23 14:31:00 It’s disappointing, and often monumentally, when you prepare to make something that you are sure you’re going to love in such a way that you want everyone you know to get busy and make it right now because you know that they will love it, recommend it and pass it down to future generations, and ...

Carne Adovada
2007-05-14 18:38:00 I could perhaps subtitle this post “The Wait Coulda Killed Me” to get the point across that this dish takes time, people. The particular recipe I followed said to marinate the meat for 48 hours. That’s one heckuva long time to wait for something so good. But it was worth it. Woweeee…. was it worth it. Other ...

Grilled crackercrust pizzas
